A community garden is being sponsored by the Kaysville Yard and Garden Civic Committee in collaboration with the Kaysville Parks and Recreation Department. A plot in this garden is available to any resident who desires to participate, including senior citizens.

The garden is located between the Autumn Glow Senior Activity Center and the Kaysville Branch Library. A drip-type water system will be installed and made available for individual watering needs.

According to the sponsors, gardening offers healthy exercise as well as vegetable produce which enhance good nutrition. A community garden also adds a wholesome and cooperative spirit to the city while providing a sense of connection.

Participants will be responsible to plant, water, weed and harvest their own plot. Those interested in participating in this community garden can go to www.kaysvilleyards.com and fill out the garden questionnaire.

Looking to the future, the sponsors are searching for anyone who knows of any vacant lots in the city that have a water source and the owner is willing to make this land available for a community garden. If so, please contact Ron Zollinger at yards@kaysvillecity.com or at 801-682-9832.
